Family Tree

Gr 8 Social Studies

Mrs. Orendorff

You are a historian, and you are trying to find out how your family came to live in Bishops Falls.  You will need to ask family members where they came from, why they moved and how they met one another to discover their journey to the area.   

Conduct an oral interview with a member of your family (preferably a Grandparent).  Prepare 5 open ended questions to ask them about their lives to try and find out how you ended up in Bishops Falls. 

Draw a family tree either in tree or pedigree form going back at least 3 generations.  Type out your questions and the answers to me handed in with your family tree.
